It really depends on the type of insicion they did on the inside. If you have a vertical scar on the outside I think it is a no go, but if you have a horizontal scar then it is a possibility. Do you have your medical records from the surgery, or can you get them? My doctor wanted my medical records to make sure I was a good candidate.
